Real Madrid secured a dramatic 3-2 victory over Leganés in the Copa del Rey quarter-finals on February 5, 2025, at Estadio Municipal de Butarque. 



The match was decided by a last-minute header from academy graduate Gonzalo García, propelling Los Blancos into the semi-finals. 

The visitors took an early lead with goals from Luka Modrić and Endrick, establishing a 2-0 advantage. However, Leganés responded with determination as Juan Cruz netted twice—first converting a penalty in the 39th minute and later equalizing in the 59th minute with a deflected shot. 

As the match appeared destined for extra time, substitute Brahim Díaz delivered a precise cross in stoppage time, which García capitalized on with a decisive header, securing the win for Real Madrid. 

Post-match, manager Carlo Ancelotti praised the contributions of the club's youth system, stating, "The academy contributes; those who work below do well, and the players arrive prepared." 

This victory underscores Real Madrid's resilience and the impactful integration of emerging talent from their academy.
